Selena Yorke was one ecstatic 10-year-old
Saturday morning when a white van delivered
a special gift to her home on the Langley/
Surrey border.
The fifth grader from Langley Meadows
Community School is the recipient of
what will be a life-changing donation from
Canadian Safe Step Walk-In Tub Co., an international company with an office in Burnaby.
Selena loves music, cheerleading and rollercoasters. She is also facing a life-threatening disease called Friedreich’s ataxia, a rare
neuromuscular disorder that affects every cell
in her body, including her heart.
Selena will lose the ability to do everyday
things that she loves to do with her friends,
such as walking, dancing, and even singing.
Even tasks like taking a bath or shower can
no longer be taken for granted.
The disease will get progressively worse.
There is no cure for Friedreich’s ataxia.
Selena is on a medley of vitamins, anti-oxidants and supplements to help her improve
her quality of life.
Selena’s family – which includes her dad
Brad, mom
Cari, and big

accommodate her needs.
Canadian Safe Step Walk-In Tub Co. was so
touched by Selena’s story, it donated a walkin tub and shower to the family.
The tub was boxed in purple – Selena’s
favourite colour – and delivered to the family’s home around 9 a.m. on Saturday.
“I was very excited,” Selena said with a
wide smile. “Before, it was really hard to get
into the bathtub. I had to swing my leg over
the bathtub and my mom had to really help.”
Brad said the family is overwhelmed and
excited.
“This is an unbelievable gift to give to
Selena and our family,” he said. “This is
going to help immensely. Getting her in and
out of the tub was getting more and more difficult. This is definitely going to give her more
independence.”
Brad said it’s been a “tough year” for the
family, but the support they have received
from their family, friends, and the community
has helped to make it easier.
And like the rest of the family, he was over
the moon about the gift.
“This is definitely a life-changer for this little girl over here,” Brad said, motioning to his
daughter sitting nearby at the family’s kitchen
table. “Right, Selena?”
Later Saturday, friends and family held a
benefit in her honour at Cascades Casino, but

A civil discussion about
arts funding kicked off the
season of all-candidate’s
meetings in Langley.
by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The first meeting of rival candidates in Langley for the 2013
provincial election was a calm
exchange of views about arts
funding.
The Langley Arts Council
brought two NDP candidates
and a Liberal together Saturday
to talk to its members Saturday
afternoon.
The LAC asked three questions
of incumbent Langley Liberal
MLA Mary Polak, her NDP
opponent Andrew Mercier, and
Fort Langley-Aldergrove NDPer
Shane Dyson, about whether an
arts facility could benefit a community economically, if arts contribute to health and wellness,
and about arts facilities supporting youths.
Not surprisingly, all three candidates agreed that arts are a
vital part of the community and
can aid in mental and physical
well being, as well as boosting
the local economy.
The question of a permanent
arts centre was on the mind of
the dozen Arts Council members
who attended the discussion.

The issue of racing at the former Langley Speedway is not
a dead one, decided a Metro
Vancouver committee Thursday.
The Environment and Parks
Committee voted to have staff
analyze the idea of bringing back
auto racing, for up to 14 days
per year, at the old racetrack in
Campbell Valley Regional Park
in South Langley.
Township Councillor Bob
Long voted in favour of the staff
report, telling the Langley Advance
that Metro needs to look at creative ways to raise revenues in
order to buy more parkland in
the future.
“Whether racing can be compatible with other park uses
remains to be proven,” Long
wrote in an email. “Anything is
possible including electric cars!”
The proposal came from the
Langley Speedway Historical
Society, a local group of car
buffs and racing fans who have
spent the past several years collecting and preserving the history of the 3/8 of a mile track.
The Speedway, located at the
foot of 208th Street south of
16th Avenue, started operation
in the 1960s and ran for about
20 years, with its last season in
1984.
The land that includes the
racetrack was sold to the
regional district in the late
1960s as a park, but a series of
lease agreements kept racing
going for more than 15 years.
Races included three seasons of
NASCAR in the 1970s, one of
the few B.C. venues to host such
an event.
Murray Jones and other
Speedway Historical Society
members have collected images
and memorabilia from the
track’s heydey, as well as working to clear away invasive plants
from the track and the old seating areas, now a grassy slope.
Equestrians and other park
users have already expressed
strong opposition to the idea of
racing coming back to the park.

Langley Township’s plans to
tighten up its propane cannon
bylaws won’t include a ban.
Propane cannons are loud,
booming devices used on berry
farms to scare away birds.
Frustrated neighbours have
called for them to be restrained
or eliminated. A special committee was created last year to look
into options and gather input.
On Monday, council voted for
a series of five recommendations
to mitigate bird cannon noise,

within provincial Ministry of
Agriculture guidelines:
• Adding setbacks and
reducing cannon firing frequency near municipal trails or
horse farms;
• Creating Township-managed
registration and licensing for the
users of scare devices;
• A fine structure for bylaw
violators, at $150 for first
offences, $300 for two, and $500
for three or more;
• Communication with farmers, including about alternative
methods of bird control;
• Consideration of decibel

levels for a noise-regulation
standard.
Provincial regulations protecting farming practices preclude
the Township banning bird cannons.
Once Township staff prepare a
bylaw, it will be brought to the
council for debate and possible
amendment.
At a public meeting earlier
this year, residents called for a
number of alternatives, including using falcons, or outlined
how the cannons have damaged
their quality of life or their own
nearby farming operations.

Attention Lower Mainland Home Owners:
23 of you are about to make an important ﬁnancial decision...

NO MONEY DOWN, NO PAYMENTS AND INTEREST FREE TIL 2014*
(This is the Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century” ... especially if your furnace is over 8 years old)

Dear Friend
I’m about to make you a deal that’s
hard to refuse if you’ve got an “older”
(and probably less than optimally efﬁcient)
furnace.
I’ll replace your old furnace AND heat
pump as a “package deal” for at least
$3136.00 less than you would pay any
other time of the year.
Sound too good to be true?
It’s not and here’s why. I’m making
you what sounds like an unbelievable offer
because it actually makes good sense for
my business. And you come out a winner,
as well!
You see, I know from experience that in
my slowest months I actually end up losing
money ... then I have to spend the rest of the
year trying to make up for it. Right now, I
have no reason to believe 2013 will be any
different.
That’s why I’ve decided to give up trying
to make a proﬁt during these months and
minimize my losses ... so I can come out
ahead the rest of the year.
So here’s how I can make the incredible
offer at the top of this letter.
Every year the biggie furnace
manufacturers guesstimate how many
furnaces to produce. Since there’s no way of
knowing what the weather will be like and
other factors that affect sales, these guys
always have leftover inventory they have to
hold onto until the next heating season.
I saw a great business opportunity in this
and went to one of these biggie companies
(they won’t allow me to use their name in
this letter) and contracted for the purchase
of these furnaces that were going to just be
sitting around. Plus, I bought 23 heat pumps
all in the 3 most popular sizes used in Lower
Mainland homes.
Because of the number I bought and
the time of year I purchased them, I got an
unbelievable deal ... rock-bottom prices.
Don’t get me wrong - these are
brand-new, top quality, 2013 models. Not
“seconds.” Not “blems.” Not builder-grade.
These are premium furnaces and heat pumps
fresh from a name-brand factory with a full
factory warranty.
How to Get Your Name Brand Furnace
for Virtually Nothing
By putting together this furnace-plusheat pump package (I call it the “Hottest
AND Coolest Deal of the Century”), going
through some heavy negotiations with
the manufacturer, and then committing to

Scott Campbell

Local Business Owner

buying 23 systems outright, I got BOTH the
furnace AND the heat pump at a price that
would have made Sam Walton proud. This
means when you buy one of these 23 new,
premium-quality heat pumps I will “give”
you the furnace and ask you to pay only
the $1181 in labor it costs to install your
furnace.
Pick up your phone right now
Simply call me at 946-1000 at anytime
so I can come out and measure your home
(to see if I’ve got the proper size unit).
Remember ... I’ve got only 23 matched
systems in 3 sizes so you’ll want to let me
know VERY SOON that you’re interested.
When these 23 systems are gone, they’re
gone, and this offer is null and void. Call me
right now so we can get the ball rolling!
As part of the deal, I’ll show you how
much the heat pump costs ... how much
the furnace WOULD have cost ... and your
savings when you buy your new heat pump
and furnace as part of this special offer. The
price I show you will include all installation
materials and labor. There’s no ﬁne print,
nothing left out.
Earlier I said that making you this
amazing offer is also good business for me
The way I look at it, by letting YOU win
big now, I’ll win at the end of the year. And
I won’t have to “make up” for the lost sales
during my slowest months.
I ﬁgure if I make you an absolutely
irresistible offer .. if your furnace is pushing
8 years or more ... and if I barely mark up
the price I paid, I’ll accomplish 2 major
objectives that will allow me to reduce my
losses the rest of the year. I’ll be able to ...
• Pay my overhead (rent, utilities,
insurance and taxes) during the slow
period
• Keep my service & installation
technicians busy enough to pay them to
work instead of sit at home.
As you can see, when you take me up
on my “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the
Century,” EVERYONE IS A WINNER!
And by the way, there’s no obligation
when you have me come out to measure
your house and explain the installation
If you decide you don’t want to take
advantage of this incredible deal (although
I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want to
save this kind of money), it’s no problem.
You’re not obligated in any way. In fact, just
for taking time to read this letter and having
me out to survey your house ... I’ll give
you a Very Special Free Gift Coupon ($50

value). Why? Even if we don’t do business
together now, I want you to remember us in
the future.
If you’re thinking a new furnace (& heat
pump) isn’t in your budget - don’t worry!
You don’t have to pay me right now
Because I’ve tried to think of every
reason possible why you WOULDN’T
take me up on this spectacular offer, I’ve
even made arrangements for a super bank
rate ﬁnancing plan. And I’m not “marking
up” the interest rate like so many other
companies do.
While I can’t promise you this, it’s
possible that with this ﬁnancing plan your
monthly investments in a new system could
be more than paid for by the savings you see
on your monthly utility bills.
My Disappointment-Proof Guarantee
Talking about lower utility bills, I’m so
sure you’ll see at least a 25% cut in your
heating and cooling bills (in reality, it may
be more like 35%+), if you don’t I’ll pay you
twice the difference for 2 years.
Not only are you getting a new,
ﬁrst-quality furnace virtually free, plus a
ﬁrst-quality heat pump at a great price, I
guarantee you’ll lower your heating and
cooling bills by at least 25% or I’ll pay you
double your savings for 2 years. (This alone
should convince you that these systems
are some of the very best quality and most
efﬁcient available).
But you’ve got to act fast ... call me at 9461000 right now! This offer ends April 30th
no matter what
Don’t wait to call me. Here’s why. I have
only 8 of each of the 3 sizes. When all of the
air conditioners are sold and all the furnaces
“given away” in a certain size, the “Hottest
AND Coolest Deal of the Century” is over.
And if I still have any of the 23 systems
left on April 30th, this offer still ends. The
reason is that my business only slows down
for a short time. Since these furnaces cost
me so little, if I’ve got any left, I’ll sell them
next winter at last year’s prices and still
come out ahead.
So call me right now at 946-1000
Thanking you in advance,
Scott Campbell
Owner
P.S. Remember, there’s no obligation
and - even if you change your mind once
I measure your house and give you the
estimate - you still get that Free Gift Coupon
worth $50.

and 40, and the unpredictable effects of MS last for
the rest of their lives.

“The Place to Be!”

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Monday, April 22, 2013
NOTICE is hereby given that the Council of the City of Langley will hold a Public Hearing in the Council
Chambers, Langley City Hall, 20399 Douglas Crescent, Langley, BC at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, April 22, 2013 to
allow the public to make verbal or written representation to Council with respect to the following proposed
bylaw.
Bylaw No 2907:
Zoning Amendment
Purpose: To amend the Zoning Bylaw, 1996, No. 2100 as noted below.
The Zoning Bylaw currently prohibits growing of marihuana and related activities except as permitted
under the federal Marihuana Medical Access Regulations under which Health Canada has issued “personal
use” and “designated person” licences permitting limited marihuana production for medicinal purposes
in residential premises. The federal government is proposing to repeal those regulations and the proposed
bylaw removes this exception from the Zoning Bylaw effective September 30, 2013.
Note: Holders of licences issued under the Marihuana Medical Access Regulations would be entitled to
continue to use their residential premises to grow marihuana for medical use as lawful non-conforming
uses after September 30, 2013. The federal government has announced that all such licences will expire by
March 31, 2014.
The proposed bylaw affects all zones in the City of Langley.
Copies of the proposed bylaw may be inspected at the Development Services Department, Langley City Hall,
20399 Douglas Crescent, Langley, B.C., from Tuesday, April 9, 2013 to Monday, April 22, 2013 between the

Election result
in your hands

As of today (barring the dangerously
unexpected), the “writ has dropped” and
the province of British Columbia is in election mode.
This is democracy, folks, and you’re part
of it. This is when you get to make the decisions that really count: because the decisions you make in the coming month will
determine who makes the decisions that
steer your community and your province,
economically and socially, for the next four
years.
This is an important election… they all
are. Whatever the pollsters may try to tell
you, the results are not a foregone conclusion.
It may sound trite when
the politicians say it (and
Email with
it is, admittedly, usually
said by those who don’t
like what the polls say at
any given moment), the
only poll that counts is the
one that takes place on election day – the
one that’s counted after the ballot boxes are
opened by bona fide Elections BC personnel.
Some people consider this whole democracy thing an unwelcome chore, others will
ignore it altogether – an annoyance that will
go away in a few weeks.
And then they’ll complain about “poor
leadership” and how they don’t really have
any control.
But we’re going to do our best to give
you as much information as we can about
all the candidates and the issues that affect
you directly.
We’ll use Twitter @langleyadvance and our
website at www.langleyadvance.com, Facebook
and Layar, and of course, these printed
pages to convey your candidates’ responses
to election issues as they arise.
Just ask the billions of people on this
planet who would die – literally – for the
democracy so many of us take for granted.
They would tell you to pay attention, study
your options, and make an informed decision on May 14.
The decision really is yours.

Langley: between the city and the township, we are seven distinct
communities nestled between farmland set aside as part of the Agricultural
Land Reserve. How are we growing and what are the opportunities in

An interview with

Langley

our mayors: Peter Fassbender and Jack Froese
What makes Langley a great place
to live?
Both mayors are enthusiastic about Langley’s
central location, our range of housing options, and
our great parks.
Mayor Fassbender: “We have a lot to offer in terms
of diversity both from the point of view of housing
stock and the diversity of that from single-family to
multi-family residential. We’ve got great parks and
trails and bicycle networks that people can use and
then we have good opportunities for employment
here as well.”

> “Transportation continues to be a major
challenge for us in ensuring that we not only
catch up in terms of what we need today
but that we plan effectively for the future.”
Mayor Peter Fassbender

Fassbender point to the congestion many residents
live with on a daily basis as a priority issue for their
councils.

In the township’s six communities (Aldergrove;
Murrayville; Brookswood; Walnut Grove; Willoughby;
and Fort Langley), Froese anticipates most of the
growth to occur in Willoughby, after which we will
start to see Brookswood develop more.

over the next couple of years,” he said. “We’ve
got a lot of land that’s undeveloped and the
homebuilders are active in there and are
constantly putting up new homes. We’re going

that is going to change Brookswood into some
more density. But we’re still in the process of
getting public input and how that will actually look
in the future, time will tell.”
“Our growth in the city of Langley is going to
be measured at about two per cent a year,”
commented Fassbender, “but around the city
of Surrey, township of Langley, Abbotsford, their
growth patterns are much more dramatic. That
has a positive effect on us from an economic
point of view because we have a lot of retail in our
community. The growth that goes on around us will

community.”
The city has changed its density bylaw, doubling
density in the downtown core and maintaining
graduated lower densities as we move south so
there is a good mix of high, medium, and low
density.
The township is concentrating its increases in
density to transit corridors and is looking at the
land adjacent to the new Carvolth Park & Ride as
a place that could be developed so the people who
move in could step out their doors and hop on a
bus rather than taking their cars everywhere.

The transportation challenge
With growth come challenges. Both Froese and

“Transportation continues to be a major challenge
for us in ensuring that we not only catch up in
terms of what we need today, but that we plan
effectively for the future,” said Fassbender.
“We’ve been working with TransLink and looking
at the future of the transportation corridors in
our community and how they connect to the
communities around us. We’re looking at what
the modality options are for us, everything from
SkyTrain to at-grade rail to more integrated bus
services. So we’re strongly advocating for that and
will continue to.”
Added Froese, “We don’t have the luxury of
transit some of the other municipalities have. The
Carvolth Park & Ride is really helping get people
in and out of our community, but we need to have
transportation within the community so people can
have options and get them out of the cars and onto
transit.”

Community engagement
Involving citizens in building our communities is
important to both mayors.
“We have lots of great volunteers,” said
Fassbender. “We work with all of the various
agencies in our community. We have a group called
the Langley Healthier Community Partnership
that we initiated along with our neighbours,
where we sit down and talk about the needs and
the aspirations of our communities. So we are a
catalyst, I think, to helping a lot of that discussion
and we work closely with our volunteer groups to
make sure we keep our eye on the big picture. And
we also work hard to make our community feel safe
and engaging and where people want to come.
We’re trying very hard to maintain our personality
that we’ve developed over the years.”
Froese talked about the community building that
has gone into plans for the proposed new rec
centre in Aldergrove. “One of the things that we did
was strike a committee whose sole purpose was to
reach out to the community and hold workshops
and get information. That committee recently

on the recreation centre is one of my proudest
accomplishments as mayor. It’s a project that will
take about three years, if everything goes well,
and it will certainly help to revitalize downtown
Aldergrove.”

Nestled in the historic and tranquil
settlement of Murrayville is a new
development by ParkLane Homes
that stays true to its historic roots.
Winchester Estates combines
the perfect mix of small town
charm with contemporary comfort.
“Murrayville has always been a
very family-oriented, sought after
neighbourhood,” says Yosh Kasahara,
general manager of sales and

marketing at ParkLane Homes.
“Murrayville really is unique in the
Fraser Valley because it delivers an
authentic small town experience with
all the modern conveniences. It’s a
quiet historic neighbourhood, and
everything around you is already built
– schools are established, parks are
mature and green, the roadways and
walking trails are here.”

with character and quaint appeal.
The second oldest community in
Langley, its roots date back to the
mid-1870’s when its founder and
namesake, Paul Murray, along
with his three sons, staked the
land at each corner of the New
Westminster-Yale Road-Fort Langley
Trail intersection. As other pioneers
followed Murray’s suit, “Murray’s
(Five) Corners” blossomed into a
thriving hub of activity complete with
a hotel, blacksmith, butcher, bowling
r      n  
centre of it all was Porter’s General
Store where, even to this day, you can
pick up mouthwatering fresh-baked
pies, dime-store candy and local
artisan delights.
“And of course, there’s Porter’s
Coffee House just down the street,”
adds Kasahara. “You can’t visit
Murrayville without trying their baking
– people come from all over Langley
to go to Porter’s.”

Kasahara went on to say that
because Winchester Estates is
built on the crest of a ridge, the
community boasts stunning views
of Langley city centre, the verdant
farmland and the Golden Ears
Mountains – something newcomers

that sense of being surrounded by
greenery.

Marcon

Cornerstone North

Langley is emerging as one of the
most sought-after communities in the
Lower Mainland because of its blend
of urban sophistication coupled with
its rural, pastoral landscape.

“This is the sister building to
Cornerstone but it’s slightly
different,” says Liz Anderson, partner
at Key Marketing, who is overseeing
sales for the development.

In the heart of Langley is where one
of the most respected builders in the
province, Marcon, makes its home
and its building Cornerstone North.
Like its predecessor, Cornerstone
North is built on a grassy landscaped
totally gated podium, which means
all of the homes are up off the street

North is a selection of 124 residence
condominiums of one-, two- and
two-bedroom plus den homes which
will feature several upgrades that
now come standard - nine-foot
ceilings, more natural light from the
larger windows, soft-close cabinetry,
36-inch upper kitchen cabinets and
side-by-side refrigerators with water
and ice dispensers.

“Listening to previous and
prospective buyers is something
Marcon puts a lot of value in
and many of those ideas were
incorporated into Cornerstone North,”
says Anderson.
These contemporary West coast
homes are distinguished by open
interiors with high quality laminate

access to all major commuter
routes Cornerstone North is also
within a short distance to Kwantlen

city’s 40 parks.
A transplanted Vancouverite,
Anderson chose Langley as the
community to raise her two young
children.

Change and innovation – these are hallmarks of
Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Langley campus.
KPU is leading the way in many of its Langley-based
programs, most notably in horticulture, sciences,
health and music.
KPU’s School of Horticulture is already being touted
as a shining example of originality. The Canadian
Foundation for Innovation awarded over $2.2 million
to fund research into new production systems, crops
for green energy greenhouses and development of
biocontrols for horticulture crops.
“We have a great research institution in horticulture
- a very strong program with strong instructors,” says
Dr. Alan Davis, KPU president and vice-chancellor.
Its ground-breaking courses are designed to prepare
students for careers in sustainable agriculture,
greenhouse production, environmental protection,
plant health and more.

A well-regarded apprenticeship program is a key
component.
Students literally get their hands dirty in an outdoor
classroom for research, demonstration and crop
production. The neld lab has . hectares of gardens
and beds representing a full range of landscapes.
“When you add the cutting-edge science labs, a
botany lab, greenhouses, polyhouses, container
and in-ground nurseries, you have created the best
environment for students to succeed,” says Dr. Davis.
KPU’s Langley campus is also renowned for its strong
music, health and science faculties.
KPU’s Faculty of Community and Health Studies
(CAHS) offers programs that are grounded in the
concepts of caring, collaboration, inclusion and
development of healthier communities. CAHS
programs vary in length from four year bachelor
degrees to nve month citations.
The arts curriculum includes a Bachelor of Music in
Musical Arts, a Diploma in
Music and Associate of Arts: Music. KPU’s
classrooms, teaching studios and individual practice
rooms were specincally created for music instruction
from solo to orchestral performance.
“Our Langley campus is the most communityengaged campus of all four,” adds Davis. “As the
population of Langley and neighbouring communities
grows, KPU will add programs to make sure that what
we offer is always pertinent to Langley. In fact, we
collaborate with both the City and Township regularly
to ensure our programs are the right ones.”
Building strong community connections is a key
objective for KPU.

Heroes Hockey Challenge Thanks You!
The 2013 Heroes Hockey Challenge Gala Dinner and Firstar Hockey Legends vs. HHC Warriors Hockey Game
at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre were overwhelming successes and these would not have been
possible without our committed partners, volunteers and supporters.
With their help, we raised in excess of $75,000 that will be used to support soldiers and veterans in need and families of the fallen.

We would like to give a huge thank you to our partners, suppliers and donors:

To all the HHC volunteers - a most sincere thank you! We could not have done it without you!

Meet the people
ICBC doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want you to meet.

Introducing Sharene Orstad
If you have been injured in a car accident, you may
think ICBC will take care of you. But insurance
companies have a vested interest in saving money
and reducing costs, not paying you for your pain,
loss or inconvenience.
Sharene has been a member of the DBM team
for over a decade; working to protect the rights
of personal injury victims. At the negotiating table
or in court, Sharene will present your case in a
manner that ICBC adjusters and lawyers will
respect and understand.
